[Level 2] get broadcast by Python

I wrote a python script to get broadcast by giving ip and netmask.
And I use "lambda" and "map" function to shorten my code,
so it's also a good sample for you to study map function.
More information please refer here.
The sample code is as the following:
#!/bin/env python
def getBroadcast(self, ip=None, netmask=None):
    if not ip or not netmask: return None
    ip = ip.split('.')
    netmask = netmask.split('.')
        
    for n in range(0,4):
        if netmask[n] == '0': break
    bc = (map(lambda a, b: str(int(a, 10)&int(b,10)), ip[0:n]+['255']*(4-n), netmask[0:n]+['255']*(4-n)))

    if n > 1: bc[n-1] = str(int(bc[n-1]) + (255 - int(netmask[n-1])))
    return '.'.join(bc)

print getBroadcast('192.168.10.1','255.255.254.0')
Result:
192.168.11.255
Wish this helps.

[Level 1] Reversion of git

[Level 2] iif in Python

If you want to implement iif in Python, please refer to the following sample code: #!/bin/env python def iif(b): return 'It\'s True' if b else 'It\'s False' print iif(True) print iif(False) And the following sample, guess what will you get! #!/bin/env python b = True print 'b: %s' % 'Ture' if b else 'False' b = False print 'b: %s' % 'Ture' if b else 'False' Result: $ ./iif.py b: Ture False The second result is "False", not "b: False". Why??? Because the prededence of string concatenation is higher than if. Therefore you need to use () to make it correct. #!/bin/env python b = True print 'b: %s' % 'Ture' if b else 'False' b = False print 'b: %s' % ('Ture' if b else 'False') Wish this helps. regards, Stanley Huang
